ArcGIS Instant Apps- Details Widget- Image Accessibility UI vs HTML

Hello Esri Instant Apps Team,

We would like to see a built-in dialogue option in the UI for adding alternative text for accessibility, this could look like a popup message or right click menu. Currently your applications require HTML knowledge to update and this is not ideal for all our users.

Please consider adding a dialogue similar to other apps like Hub or ArcGIS StoryMaps-

Thank you,

Amanda Huber

I agree with anything to make accessibility more, well, accessible to non-experts in it. For all us govie-customers, Title II ADA requirements are pretty scary when thinking about how to make sure AGOL apps we're building are compliant.

The dream would be an accessibility wizard and/or checker we could run to make sure we're at least filling out all the recommended and/or available accessibility settings in Instant Apps, not unlike the "checking for issues" feature you've had in some of your app templates.
